Blossoms + Black Lacquer

This leather cuff bracelet features a gnarled branch in bloom with cherry blossoms. The central panel of the bracelet has been sealed with a high gloss finish, making it resemble black lacquer. The effect of the slightly pearlescent, pale blossoms contrasting against the rich, black background is really striking.

The bracelet is worn by sliding the hand through chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon which is laced almost corset-style around the back. The ends of the ribbon are then tightened and they dangle below the wrist.
